THE   BEADLE   COLLECTION 


THROUGH  the  generosity  of  Dr.  Frank  P.  O'Brien  of  New  York,  who 
has  given  this  collection  to  the  Library,  it  is  possible  to  place  on  exhibi- 
tion about  fourteen  hundred  of  those  rare  little  books  and  magazines  which, 
beginning  about  the  year  1859,  were  issued  in  America  under  the  broad  and  gen- 
eral title  of  "Dime  Novels."  These  are  separate  publications  from  the  house 
of  Beadle  and  Adams,  of  which  Erastus  Beadle,  the  Otsego  printer,  was  the 
originator  and  guiding  spirit.  The  remaining  171  items  in  Dr.  O'Brien's  gift 
are  examples  of  those  other  novels  which  sprang  into  existence  as  a  result  of 
the  popularity  with  which  the  Beadle  books  were  greeted  from  their  first  appear- 
ance. For  lack  of  space,  they  are  not  in  the  exhibition.  The  collection,  as 
shown  in  the  Main  Exhibition  Room,  constitutes  an  absorbingly  interesting 
assemblage  of  a  pioneer  literature  which  has  now  wholly  vanished,  but  which, 
for  a  generation,  exercised  a  profound  influence  on  the  country's  thought, 
character,  and  habits  of  mind. 

No  less  than  thirty-one  various  "types"  or  "series"  of  books,  pamphlets, 
magazines,  and  periodicals  are  embraced  in  the  Beadle  exhibit.  Of  certain 
types  which  were  published  but  for  a  short  time  only,  or  which  have  become 
most  difficult  to  discover,  only  a  few  copies  are  shown.  Other  varieties,  whose 
regular  appearance  extended  over  a  considerable  period  of  years,  are  in  some 
few  instances  represented  by  hundreds  of  different  titles.  The  publications 
are  of  all  sizes,  from  little  24mos  to  large  folio  sheets  as  big  as  a  modern  news- 
paper. More  than  half  of  the  different  series  were  originally  issued  in  illus- 
trated covers  or  wrappers  of  dififerent  colors,  and  they  are  thus  shown.  They 
come  in  brown,  blue,  orange,  tan,  green,  yellow,  red,  buff  and  in  various  com- 
binations of  those  hues,  and  in  plain  black-and-white.  Nearly  all  are  shown  in 
the  exhibition  cases  in  a  manner  to  reveal  their  outward  appearance  and  the 
dramatic  or  quaint  illustrations  with  which  they  were  embellished,  but  certain 
of  the  books  of  each  variety  are  opened  for  a  proper  display  of  the  title-pages. 

Although  every  one  of  the  thirty-one  types  of  Beadle  books  (and  doubt- 
less many  of  the  individual  items  also)  will  awaken  vivid  memories  in  the 
minds  of  elder  visitors,  the  dominating  influence  of  the  exhibition  —  especially 
to  those  historically  inclined  —  will  be  the  effect  which  it  produces  as  a  whole. 
The  collection  is  literally  saturated  with  the  pioneer  spirit  of  America.  It  por- 
trays the  struggles,  exploits,  trials,  dangers,  feats,  hardships,  and  daily  lives

of  the  American  pioneers  from  the  days  of  the  Puritans  to  the  death  of  Custer, 
and  breathes  the  spirit  which,  for  two  and  a  half  centuries,  shaped  the  con- 
quest and  development  of  the  Continent  north  of  the  Rio  Grande.  It  is  a  litera- 
ture intensely  nationalistic  and  patriotic  in  character;  obviously  designed  to 
stimulate  adventure,  self-reliance  and  achievement;  to  exalt  the  feats  of  the 
pioneer  men  and  women  who  settled  the  country;  and  to  recite  the  conditions 
under  which  those  early  figures  lived  and  did  their  work. 

It  is  in  those  obvious  qualities  that  the  cause  of  the  immense  vogue  of 
the  Beadle  books  is  to  be  found  during  their  generation.  It  w^as  in  those  attri- 
butes, also,  that  their  equally  great  popular  influence  lay,  and  no  serious  student 
who  seeks  to  understand  the  history  of  this  country  and  many  of  its  present 
tendencies,  can  fail  to  obtain  a  better  understanding  of  such  matters  by  a  study 
of  the  collection  now  on  view.  It  is  a  clinic  in  the  subject  of  mass  psycholog}^; 
as  valuable  to  the  university  professor  for  its  significant  historical  revelations 
as  it  is  to  the  gray-haired  man  to  whom  it  recalls  memories  of  boyhood. 

Erastus  Beadle,  who  did  so  much  to  perpetuate  and  glorify  in  print  the 
deeds  of  the  American  pioneers,  w^as  born  in  the  village  of  Pierstow^n,  Otsego 
County,  New  York,  September  11,  1821.  His  later  interest  in  the  subject  of 
American  pioneer  life,  and  his  devotion  to  the  cause  of  recording  its  annals, 
is  no  doubt  traceable  to  his  own  ancestry  and  to  the  experiences  of  his  youth. 
The  grandfather  of  Erastus  was  Benjamin  Beadle,  of  Wethersfield,  Connec- 
ticut, who  fought  in  the  Revolution  under  General  John  Sullivan  and  General 
George  Clinton.  Four  generations  of  Benjamin  Beadle's  ancestors  were  born 
in  or  identified  with  Salem,  Massachusetts,  w^here  Samuel  Beadle  died  about 
1664.     Descendants  of  Samuel  fought  in  the  French  and  Indian  Wars. 

Benjamin,  the  Revolutionary  soldier,  removed  to  New  York  in  1796.  He 
traveled  by  sail-boat  from  Connecticut  to  New^  York  City;  thence  up  the  Hud- 
son to  Lansingburg;  and  by  horses  and  wagons  overland  through  the  wilder- 
ness to  Otsego  County,  on  Stewart's  Patent,  near  the  present  Richfield  Springs. 
This  pioneer  was  married  three  times,  and  was  the  father  of  twenty-three  chil- 
dren. The  father  of  Erastus  was  named  Flavel  Beadle,  and  was  a  son  of 
Benjamin's  second  wife.  Flavel  Beadle  was  eight  years  of  age  during  the 
journey  into  the  New  York  wilderness,  and  was  there  later  married  to  Polly 
Tuller,  who  had  come  from  Massachusetts. 

In  1833,  when  Erastus  was  tw-elve  years  old,  he,  in  his  turn,  was  to  enjoy 
his  first  extensive  experience  of  wilderness  journeying.  He  accompanied  the 
rest  of  the  family  on  an  overland  migration  to  the  town  of  Schoolcraft,  in 
Kalamazoo  County,  Michigan  Territory,  which  pilgrimage  occupied  many 
weeks.  But  the  Far  West  of  those  days  did  not  suit  Flavel  Beadle,  and  he 
brought  his  family  back  to  New  York  about  two  years  later. 

As  a  boy,  Erastus  Beadle  worked  on  a  farm,  and  as  apprentice  to  a  miller. 
It  was  while  he  was  a  miller's  apprentice  that  he  laid  the  foundation  of  his

future  career  as  a  printer.  Need  arose  in  the  mill  one  day  for  some  letters  to 
be  used  in  labeling  the  bags  of  grain.  Erastus  cut  the  letters  from  blocks  of 
hardwood,  just  as  the  old  block-letters  had  been  made  in  the  days  before  Gut- 
enberg. He  then  left  the  mill,  and,  with  an  alphabet  of  his  home-made  wooden 
type,  he  traveled  about  the  region  stamping  bags  in  various  mills  and  similarly 
marking  lap  robes,  wagons,  and  other  things.  On  reaching  Cooperstown  he 
came  to  the  attention  of  Elihu  Phinney,  the  pioneer  printer  of  that  town,  who 
offered  him  work.  In  Phinney's  establishment  Erastus  learned  to  be  a  type- 
setter, stereotyper,  printer,  and  binder,  and  with  these  abilities  as  his  only 
capital  he  moved  to  the  village  of  Buffalo  in  1847.  By  1852  he  had  a  printing 
shop  of  his  own,  and  in  that  year  he  issued  his  first  publication,  entitled  "The 
Youth's  Casket.."  In  1856  he  began  to  issue  the  excellent  magazine  called  "The 
Home  Monthly"  (shown  in  the  exhibition),  and  two  years  later  he  removed 
to  New  York  City  to  test  his  great  idea. 

This  plan  was  to  issue  "Dime"  publications,  and  possibly  had  its  immedi- 
ate origin  in  the  unusual  success  in  Buffalo,  of  a  "Dime  Song  Book"  in  which 
he  had  assembled  a  number  of  the  penny  lyrics  of  the  period.  These  had  been 
earlier  issued  in  separate  broadsides,  by  various  publishers. 

The  New  York  issues  of  the  song  books  also  made  an  immediate  hit,  and 
were  swiftly  followed  by  a  number  of  the  miscellaneous  hand-books  shown 
in  the  present  exhibition.  Then,  in  the  summer  of  1860,  came  the  first  of  the 
original  "Dime  Novels"  in  their  orange  covers.  Success  was  assured  from 
the  start,  and  the  publishing  activities  of  Beadle  and  Company  speedily  grew 
to  vast  proportions. 

Many  of  the  best  writers  of  the  period,  who  possessed  intimate  knowl- 
edge of  American  pioneer  life,  were  asked  to  put  the  conditions  and  events  of 
earlier  generations  into  attractive  form.  Among  those  whose  help  was  thus 
enlisted  were  Judge  Jared  Hall,  Francis  Fuller  Barritt,  John  Neal,  Mayne 
Reid,  Mrs.  Victor,  Colonel  A.  J.  H.  Duganne,  Edward  S.  Ellis,  William 
Eyster,  Ann  Stephens,  Judge  William  Busteed,  N.  C.  Iron,  Herrick  Johnstone, 
James  L.  Bowen,  Mary  Denison,  John  Warner,  Charles  Dunning  Clark,  and 
various  others. 

The  little  books  they  wrote  were  inspired  by  Erastus  Beadle,  and  his 
influence  is  seen  in  the  fact  that  every  phase  of  pioneer  life,  and  every  his- 
toric event  in  which  his  own  ancestors  had  taken  part,  is  treated  in  the  series 
of  Beadle  books.  The  editorship  of  the  house  was  entrusted  to  Orville  J. 
Victor,  one  of  the  most  remarkable  figures  in  the  history  of  American  litera-  -J^ 
ture.  For  thirty  years,  Victor  personally  studied,  passed  upon,  and  edited 
the  thousands  of  publications  of  the  House  of  Beadle.  He  insisted,  first  of  all, 
that  the  narratives  must  be  true  and  accurate  portrayals,  in  spirit,  of  the 
pioneer  times  and  people  with  which  they  dealt.  They  had  to  reveal  wilder- 
ness life  and  struggle  as  it  was,  and  depict  the  conditions  amid  which  the 


6  THE  NEW  YORK  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 

pioneers  did  their  work.  These  tales  were  not  history  in  the  hteral  or  text- 
book sense,  since  they  often  incorporated  incidents  for  which  there  was  no 
authentic  or  contemporary  proof.  But  such  material,  if  used,  had  to  be  con- 
sistent with  known  conditions  of  the  period  portrayed. 

Doubtless  it  was  the  mass-realization  of  these  facts,  on  the  part  of  the 
public,  that  brought  about  such  recognition  of  the  so-called  "Dime  Novels." 
The  people  were  absorbingly  interested  in  the  earlier  life  of  the  pioneers,  and 
when  it  was  presented  to  them  in  the  form  inspired  by  Beadle  and  directed  by 
\'ictor,  they  —  as  the  slang  phrase  now  goes  —  "ate  it  up."  "Here  at  last"  — 
they  doubtless  intuitively  felt  —  "is  the  real  thing,  not  set  before  us  as  a  dull 
task  to  memorize,  but  as  a  vital  picture  to  be  studied  and  enjoyed,  and  from 
V  which  we  may  learn." 

Then  came  the  Civil  War,  and  the  soldiers  literally  absorbed  the  con- 
venient little  books  by  the  million.  The  volumes  were  exchanged,  passed  from 
hand  to  hand,  read  to  tatters,  and  then  thrown  away.  Throughout  the  thirty 
or  more  years  in  which  the  Beadle  books  held  ascendancy  they  were  so  cheap, 
and  so  common,  that  they  w^ere  almost  never  saved.  In  that  respect  they  suf- 
fered the  fate  of  all  common  things.  It  is  almost  always  the  case  that  the  com- 
monest objects  of  one  generation  become  the  rarest  Objects  of  two  generations 
afterward.  Their  very  commonness  is  the  quality  that  keeps  them  from  being 
treasured  by  their  original  possessors.  Hence  they  disappear.  Beadle  books, 
in  their  day,  were  as  countless  as  the  bison  of  the  plains  or  the  passenger  pigeon 
of  the  air.  Yet  to-day  only  a  few  hundred  bison  are  alive,  and  are  carefully 
protected,  while  not  one  passenger  pigeon  is  known  to  exist. 
'^  After  the  Civil  War  —  to  a  much  greater  extent  than  before  that  struggle 

—  Beadle  and  Victor  turned  their  attention  to  the  Far  West  and  enlisted  the 
aid  of  numerous  western  explorers,  Indian  fighters  and  plainsmen  in  portray- 
ing that  part  of  the  country.  Erastus  Beadle,  himself,  made  a  trip  across  the 
plains  in  order  to  study,  at  first  hand,  the  life  in  those  regions.  Among  those 
whose  knowledge  of  the  West  was  thus  embodied  in  the  Beadle  books  were 
Dr.  Frank  Powell,  Captain  "Bruin"  Adams,  Buffalo  Bill,  Major  Sam  Hall 
(known  as  Buckskin  Sam),  Major  St.  Vrain,  Joseph  Badger,  Prentiss  Ingra- 
ham.  Captain  Alfred  Taylor,  T.  C.  Harbaugh,  Lieutenant  Hazeltine,  Captain 
Monstery,  Captain  Frederick  Whittaker,  Lieutenant  J.  H.  Randolph,  Major 
Henry  B.  Stoddard,  Lieutenant  Alfred  Thorne,  Captain  Jack  Crawford  (the 
Poet  Scout),  Ensign  Charles  Dudley  Warren,  Dr.  Carver,  Henry  Inman, 
Albert  D.  Richardson,  Dr.  J.  H.  Robinson,  Lieutenant  James  Magoon,  Profes- 
sor William  R.  Eyster,  Oil  Coomes,  Captain  T.  B.  Shields,  J.  B.  Omohundro 
(who  was  "Texas  Jack"),  and  dozens  of  others  whose  years  of  personal  knowl- 
edge and  actual  adventure  were  incorporated  in  their  writings. 

For  a  long  time  a  considerable  part  of  the  reading  public  in  the  East 
looked  upon  these  tales  from  the  Far  West  as  unadulterated  fiction,  entirely 


THE  BEADLE  COLLECTION  7 

harmful  in  its  effect.  Uncounted  armies  of  boys  who  lived  between  the  Mis- 
sissippi and  the  Atlantic  were  taken  to  the  woodsheds  by  their  fathers,  and 
there  subjected  to  severe  physical  and  mental  anguish  as  a  result  of  the  parental 
discovery  that  they  were  reading  such  "impossible  trash."  But  the  intuition 
of  the  boys  was  a  truer  guide* —  in  this  matter  at  least  —  than  the  opinions  of 
those  parents  who  did  not  read  the  books,  and  it  has  finally  come  to  be  realized 
that  the  pictures  of  pioneer  life  in  the  Far  West,  as  presented  by  the  Beadle 
books,  are  substantially  accurate  portrayals  of  the  strange  era  and  characters 
therein  depicted.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  men  and  women  who  wrote  those 
narratives  for  the  House  of  Beadle  succeeded  much  better  in  their  task  than 
hearsay  chroniclers  who  also  undertook  it.  The  Beadle  books  present  a  more 
accurate  and  vivid  picture  of  the  appearance,  manner,  speech,  habits  and 
methods  of  the  pioneer  western  characters  than  do  the  more  formal  historians. 
The  reason  for  that  circumstance  lies  in  the  fact  that  writers  chosen  by  Beadle 
and  Victor  were  ones  w'ho  had  lived  the  life  of  which  they  told,  and  were 
familiar  with  its  fundamental,  day-by-day  qualities.  That  advantage  enabled 
them  to  get  closer  to  real  conditions  than  the  distant  commentators  and  hearsay 
chroniclers  whose  methods  of  narration  were  in  a  considerable  degree  ham- 
pered by  existing  conventionalities  of  historical  writing,  whose  viewpoint  of 
western  life  had  not  been  shaped  by  long  or  intimate  contact  with  it.  Much 
of  the  biographical  material  relating  to  famous  western  characters,  which  is 
embodied  in  various  Beadle  books,  is  not  to  be  found  elsewhere.  And,  since 
the  lives  of  the  men  thus  treated  are  an  integral  and  essential  part  of  western 
history,  the  importance  now  placed  on  such  biographical  and  regional  material 
is  easily  seen. 

In  the  years  when  the  little  Beadle  volumes  were  common,  and  at  the 
height  of  their  popularity,  they  were  often  denounced  from  the  pulpit  as 
pernicious  and  evil  in  their  influence  upon  the  men  and  boys  who  read  them 
so  avidly.  But  such  condemnation  was  due  to  ignorance  of  their  character. 
Of  late  years  that  judgment  has  been  radically  reversed.  The  present  esteem 
in  which  they  are  held  was  in  part  stated  by  Charles  Harvey,  in  an  article  on 
the  subject  published  by  him  in  the  Atlantic  Monthly  for  July,  1907. 
Mr.  Harvey  said: 

"Ethically  they  were  uplifting.  The  hard  drinkers,  and  the  grotesquely 
profane  and  picturesquely  depraved  persons  who  take  leading  roles  in  many 
of  the  dime  novels  of  recent  times  were  inexorably  shut  out  from  their  pro- 
genitors of  Beadle's  days. 

"These  tales  incited  a  love  of  reading  among  the  youth  of  the  country.  .  . 
Many  of  the  boys  and  girls  who  encountered  Pontiac,  Boone,  the  renegade 


8  THE  NEW  YORK  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 

Girty,  Mad  Anthony,  Kenton,  and  Black  Hawk  in  their  pages  were  incited 
to  find  out  something  more  about  those  characters  and  their  times,  and  thus 
were  introduced  to  much  of  the  nation's  story  and  geography.  ManHness  and 
womanhness  among  the  readers  were  cultivated  by  these  Httle  books,  not  by 
homilies,  but  by  example.  It  can  be  truthfully  said  that  the  taste  and  tone  of 
the  life  of  the  generation  which  grew  up  with  these  tales  were  improved  by 
them.  No  age  limit  was  set  up  among  Beadle's  readers.  Lincoln  w^as  one 
of  them." 

When  Lincoln  sent  Henry  Ward  Beecher  to  England  as  a  Special  Com- 
missioner, in  an  effort  to  wan  support  for  the  Union  from  the  English  Cabinet, 
it  was  Victor,  editor  of  the  House  of  Beadle,  whose  "Address  to  the  English 
People"  gave  material  aid  to  the  President's  representative.  After  Beecher  had 
returned  he  discussed  these  things  with  Victor,  and  said  to  him:  "Your  little 
book  and  Mrs.  Victor's  novel  [referring  to  'Maum  Guinea']  were  a  telling 
series  of  shots  in  the  right  spot." 

It  was  Victor,  also,  who  wrote  the  life  of  Lincoln  included  in  the  "Lives 
of  Great  Americans"  series,  and  who,  in  his  hastily  composed  memorial  preface 
to  that  volume,  summarized  the  dead  President  in  a  manner  not  excelled  by 
anv  other  writer  of  the  period.  Victor  therein  said:  "Few  men  realized  the 
magnitude  of  his  task  —  it  was  too  mighty  for  comprehension;  few  men 
were  dispassionate  enough  to  judge  justly;  few  were  wise  enough  to  judge 
understandingly." 

Such  w^as  the  man  who,  under  the  guidance  of  Erastus  Beadle,  chose  and 
edited  the  pioneer  literature  which,  for  a  generation,  molded  the  thought  and 
ambitions  of  America's  youth.  That  literature  itself  has  almost  disappeared, 
but  its  effects  on  the  national  life  are  every w^here  still  present. 


In  the  exhibition  are  shown  about  sixty-eight  different  examples  of  the 
famous  "original  yellow  back"  Dime  Novels,  which  began  to  appear  in  1860. 
No  less  than  seventeen  of  the  first  twenty-five  titles  constituting  this  series  are 
embraced  in  the  collection.  Number  8  is  a  first  edition  copy  of  Edward  Ellis' 
celebrated  "Seth  Jones,"  a  story  of  the  New  York  Wilderness  in  1785.  More 
than  450,000  copies  of  this  book  had  been  sold  in  America  before  1865,  and 
it  had  been  translated  into  seven  foreign  languages.  Number  9,  "The  Slave 
Sculptor,"  illustrates  the  little  known  bibliographical  fact  that  Beadle  and 
Company  issued  English  editions  of  many  of  these  books  from  44  Paternoster 
Row,  London.  The  English  editions  were  printed  from  the  American  stereo- 
type plates,  with  specially  prepared  title-pages.  It  was  during  the  issuance  of 
the  first  few  titles  of  the  original  Dime  Novels  that  various  experiments  were 
made  by  the  publishers  in  the  form  and  color  of  these  books.    Numbers  10,  11

and  12  illustrate  such  changes.  But  the  appearance  adopted  in  Number  11 
was  finally  chosen,  and  thenceforth  was  adhered  to  during  the  printing  of  over 
300  books  in  the  yellow-back  series.  Among  other  titles  included  in  this  type 
is  a  copy  of  Mrs.  Victor's  "Maum  Guinea,"  which  was  preferred  by  President 
Lincoln,  as  a  portrayal  of  slavery,  over  Mrs.  Stowe's  "Uncle  Tom's  Cabin." 
Still  other  celebrated  issues  among  the  yellow-backs  shown  are  Ellis'  "Rifle- 
men of  the  ]\Iiami,"  Frances  Barritt's  "The  Land  Claim,"  and  Ann  Stephen's 
"Story  of  the  Oregon  Trail." 

The  second  series  of  Beadle  books  portraying  pioneer  conditions  and-^ 
events  was  called  the  "Pocket  Novels,"  which  began  to  appear  about  1869 
or  1870.  These  were  of  the  same  12mo  size  as  their  predecessors,  but  the 
previous  uniformity  of  coloring  was  abandoned  for  a  more  brilliant  appear- 
ance and  each  cover  was  given  a  multi-colored  illustration  on  a  solid  background 
of  red,  green,  blue  or  brown.  Some  sixty-four  titles  of  this  series  are  dis- 
played, and  almost  without  exception  they  deal  with  historical  pioneer  con- 
ditions, events  and  personages.  Among  these  books  the  visitor  will  find  "Mad 
Anthony's  Scouts,"  by  Rodman;  Whittaker's  "Boone  the  Hunter"  and  "Dick 
Darling"  (the  pony  expressman) ;  "Billy  Bowlegs";  and  "The  Sons  of  Liberty" 
and  "Mohawk  Nat,"  by  the  historian  Charles  Dunning  Clark,  who  wrote  for 
Beadle  under  the  pen  name  of  W.  J.  Hamilton.  Clark  wrote  no  less  than  seven- 
teen of  the  "Pocket  Novels"  books,  nearly  all  of  them  dealing  with  the  periods 
and  circumstances  of  the  French-Indian  wars  in  New  York,  Virginia  and 
Pennsylvania,  or  with  the  scenes  of  the  Revolution,  phases  of  national  his- 
tory upon  which  Clark  was  a  specialist.  Many  of  the  "Pocket"  series  also  dealt 
with  the  settlement  of  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  Valleys  from  1780  to  1815, 
and  with  the  Far  West  from  1849  to  1869.  This  "Pocket"  series  is  biblio- 
graphically  known  as  Type  B  of  the  Beadle  publications,  while  the  original 
yellow-backed  books  belong  to  Type  A. 

The  next  two  groups  —  Types  D  and  E  —  have  a  common  title,  the 
"Boy's  Library  of  Sport,  Story  and  Adventure,"  and  are  distinguished  from 
one  another  by  the  larger  size  and  earlier  issuance  of  the  Type  D  items. 
They  are  imperial  octavo  in  size,  whereas  the  Type  E  publications  are  ordinary 
octavos.  Both  are  uncolored,  and  have  their  title-pages  entirely  occupied  with 
bold  black-and-white  illustrations.  The  Type  D  books  are  somewhat  different 
in  various  qualities  from  their  predecessors,  and  were  obviously  designed  to 
create  an  interest  in  foreign  countries,  peoples  and  customs  as  well  as  in  Ameri- 
can adventure.  A  typical  item  of  this  class  is  Harbaugh's  "Snow  Shoe  Tom, 
or  New  York  Boys  in  the  Wilderness,"  wherein  the  veteran  author  (who  is 
still  living  in  Ohio)  instructs  his  readers  regarding  camp  and  wilderness  life  in 
Maine,  in  moose-hunting,  fishing,  trapping,  the  making  of  snow-shoes,  and  self- 
reliance  in  the  woods.  The  Type  E  books  are  concerned  almost  wholly  with 
life  in  the  Far  West,  and  with  the  lives  and  adventures  of  celebrated  plainsmen. 


10  THE  NEW  YORK  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 

Among  these  titles  are  Aiken's  story  of  the  exploits  of  "Kit  Carson";  Joseph 
Badger's  Autobiography  (written  under  the  pen  name  of  Post);  and  Ingra- 
ham's  biography  of  the  celebrated  scout  called  Texas  Jack,  whose  real  name 
was  J.  B.  Omohundro. 

A  series  of  little  12mo  paper  books  having  about  100  pages  each,  with 
colored  illustrations  on  orange-red  covers,  come  next  in  the  exhibition.  These 
are  of  the  "New  Dime  Novels"  series,  known  in  bibliographical  realms  as 
Type  F.  There  are  no  less  than  114  of  them,  all  in  remarkable  condition  con- 
sidering that  some  were  copyrighted  as  early  as  1866,  and  none  are  less  than 
forty  years  old.  These  books,  like  the  original  dime  publications  and  the  Pocket 
series,  are  devoted  to  the  early  Indian  wars,  to  various  pioneer  conditions  and 
events,  to  the  settlement  of  the  Mississippi  Valley  and  to  the  Far  West.  Among 
the  titles  displayed  in  this  section  are  "Eph  Peters,  the  Scout  of  the  Mohawk 
Valley,"  by  Clark;  "Indian  Jim,"  a  story  of  the  Minnesota  Massacres  of  1862, 
by  Ellis;  "W'ingenund,"  by  Murray;  "The  Grizzly -Hunters,"  by  Captain  Whit- 
taker;  a  Sioux  narrative  under  the  title  of  "Old  Zip,"  by  Bruin  Adams;  John 
Neal's  description  of  the  Maine  "Moosehunter";  and  Whittaker's  story  of 
"The  Death's  Head  Rangers"  of  Texas. 

Next  among  the  various  varieties  of  publications  are  the  "American 
Tales."  These  (the  Type  G  books)  have  become  particularly  rare,  and  are 
represented  by  but  five  examples.  They  are  octavos  with  brown  pictorial 
covers.  One  of  these,  entitled  "The  Blue  Brotherhood,  or  the  Young  Patroon's 
Inheritance,"  deals  with  the  events  of  the  Mohawk  Valley  during  the  Revolu- 
tion, and  with  the  manor  house  of  Abram  Van  Kempen,  which  was  then  known 
as  "Van  Kempen's  Castle." 

Most  spectacular  and  attractive  of  all,  in  their  outward  appearance,  are 
the  books  of  the  Type  H  series.  These  are  likewise  octavos,  published  in  1870 
and  the  years  immediately  following,  and  they  have  dramatically  drawn  covers 
published  in  colors.  For  a  long  time  it  was  not  known  by  modern  bibliogra- 
phers that  these  tales  were  published  by  Beadle,  since,  almost  without  excep- 
tion, they  bear  an  imprint  reading  "Frank  Starr  and  Company,  Publishers, 
41  Piatt  Street."  Investigation,  however,  at  length  disclosed  that  Frank  Starr 
was  a  foreman  in  Beadle's  employ,  and  that  41  Piatt  Street  was  a  rear  entrance 
to  the  Beadle  establishment.  And  finally  a  copy  of  "The  Texan  Spy"  of  this 
series  was  discovered,  with  the  Beadle  imprint  on  the  title-page,  and  also  a 
Beadle  copyright,  although  the  "Frank  Starr"  attribution  appears  on  the  front 
cover.  The  title-page  of  "The  Texan  Spy,"  which  ultimately  settled  the  prob- 
lem, is  shown  in  the  exhibition.  Although  this  series  is  among  the  most  rare, 
no  less  than  thirty-nine  examples  are  in  the  collection.  They  embrace  histori- 
cal tales  dealing  with  Kit  Carson,  the  Gulf  Pirates,  the  Black  Hawk  War, 
Pioneer  Life  in  Texas,  the  New  York  Wilderness,  the  Seminole  War,  Early 
California,  the  Trappers  of  the  West,  the  Civil  War,  Early  Ohio,  Marion's 


THE  BEADLE  COLLECTION  H 

Rangers,  the  Settlement  of  the  Susquehanna  Region,  and  many  other  equally 
absorbing  phases  of  American  pioneer  conditions. 

Following  comes  an  assemblage  of  very  different  outward  aspect.  These 
are  105  specimens  of  the  "Pocket  Library,"  which  are  collectively  known  as 
Type  J.  They  are  uniform,  small  octavo  pamphlets  of  thirty-two  pages  each, 
with  the  front  covers  occupied  by  illustrations  in  black-and-white.  The  very 
first  issue  of  this  series  is  shown.  It  is  Edward  Wheeler's  story  of  "Deadwood 
Dick,  the  Prince  of  the  Road."  Among  the  more  important  items  in  this 
division  of  the  collection  are  Omohundro's  story  of  the  Scout  New  Wylde, 
Captain  J.  F.  C.  Adams'  "Oregon  Sol,"  the  same  famous  pioneer's  tale  of  "Nick 
WhifHe's  Pet,"  Mayne  Reid's  "The  Yellow  Chief,"  Prentiss  Ingraham's  "Buf- 
falo Bill's  Bet,"  and  Ingraham's  "Pony  Express  Rider."  The  dominant  motif 
of  this  series  is  far  western  adventure,  but  there  are  also  numerous  stories  por- 
traying life  in  New  York  City. 

The  succeeding  group  (belonging  to  Type  K)  reveals  another  striking 
reversal  of  form  and  outward  appearance.  These  are  fat  little  12mo  books 
of  about  200  pages  each,  with  colored  illustrated  covers.  But  much  of  the 
coloring  used  in  decorating  the  covers  in  this  series,  was  not  done  by  the  print- 
ing press.  It  was  performed  by  paint  brush  and  human  hand,  on  each  sep- 
arate volume,  as  part  of  the  original  publication  process.  As  a  result  of  this 
innovation,  and  also  of  course  due  in  part  to  the  increased  size  of  the  books, 
these  volumes  were  sold  at  20  cents  each.  Their  publication  began  in  1871,  and 
but  few  titles  appeared.  They  are  now  exceedingly  rare,  although  fifteen  of 
the  thirty-one  known  items  of  the  series  are  shown  by  the  Library,  including 
No.  1.  It  is  Albert  Aitken's  story  of  "Overland  Kit."  No.  11  is  "Idaho  Tom," 
by  Oil  Coomes;  No.  17  is  Mrs.  Victor's  "Turkey  Dan";  No.  27  is  Buffalo  Bill's 
"Deadly  Eye,"  and  No.  29  is  Badger's  "Old  Bull's  Eye."  All  are  attractive 
and  well-made  little  volumes.  "Deadly  Eye"  is  embellished  by  a  cover  por- 
trait of  Cody,  done  in  colors. 

Following  the  Type  K  books  in  the  exhibition  come  317  issues  of  the 
"Beadle's  Half-Dime  Library."  Somewhat  more  than  one  thousand  titles 
appeared  in  this  series,  and  the  Library's  collection,  therefore,  contains  nearly 
one-third  of  the  titles  published  in  this  form.  As  their  collective  name  indi- 
cates they  were  sold  for  five  cents,  and  were  the  most  ephemeral  of  all  the 
Beadle  imprints.  Millions  of  them  came  from  the  press,  but,  owing  to  their 
cheapness,  form,  and  popularity,  virtually  none  were  saved. 

These  tales  are  sixteen-page  pamphlets  of  royal  octavo  size,  with  the 
front  page  almost  always  filled  by  a  strongly-drawn  and  dramatic  illustration 
portraying  some  vital  incident  of  the  narrative.  Although  the  series,  as  a 
whole,  is  mainly  devoted  to  far  western  life  and  conditions,  it  also  contains 
numerous  stories  dealing  with  New  York  City.  Among  these  the  exhibition 
shows  copies  of  "Broadway  Billy's  Boodle"  (No.  514);  "Broadway  Billy  in 


12  THE  NEW  YORK  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 

Clover"  (Xo.  678);  and  "Bicycle  Bob's  Hot  Scorch,  a  Story  of  the  Schoharie 
County  Hayseed  in  New  York"  (No.  989);  all  by  Cowdrick;  "Bowery  Ben 
in  Chinatown"  (No.  892),  by  Harold  Payne;  and  "Buck  Bumblebee,  the  Har- 
lem Hummer"  (No.  623);  and  "The  Big  Four  of  the  Bowery"  (No.  837), 
both  by  Joseph  Pierce. 

Tiie  far  western  tales  and  biographies  in  this  series  are  particularly 
interesting.  Among  the  biographical  issues  are  "Buffalo  Billy,  the  Boy  Bull- 
whacker"  (No.  191),  by  Captain  Taylor;  "Buffalo  Bill's  Bet"  (No.  194),  by 
Taylor;  "Bison  Bill"  (No.  216),  by  ingraham;  "California  Joe's  First  Trail" 
(No.  376),  by  Col.  Monstery;  "CaHfornia  Joe's  War  Trail"  (No.  395),  by 
Captain  Whittaker;  Ingraham's  narrative  of  Joe  Bruce,  the  Texas  Ranger, 
under  the  title  of  "Arizona  Joe"  (No.  495);  and  the  same  author's  story  of 
W'illiam  L.  Taylor  of  Texas,  under  the  title  of  "Buck  Taylor,  King  of  the 
Cowboys"  (No.  497).  The  illustrations  borne  by  all  the  titles  of  this  series 
wall  be  found  to  possess  unusual  interest,  but  some  of  the  drawings  have  an 
especial  fascination.  Notable  in  such  regard  are  "Giant  George"  (No.  246); 
"Sierra  Sam's  Pard"  (No.  253);  "The  Scalp  King"  (No.  288);  and  "Ker- 
Whoop,  Ker-Whoo"  (No.  318). 

The  largest  group  of  all,  in  the  Library  exhibit,  is  that  representing  the 
Type  M  publications  of  Beadle.  These  were  collectively  known  as  the  Dime 
Library,  of  which  each  issue  w^as  an  imperial  octavo  of  thirty-two  pages,  with 
an  illustration  on  the  front  cover.  Nearly  one  thousand  titles  were  issued  in 
this  series,  of  which  the  Library  possesses  and  shows  356,  or  considerably  more 
than  one-third  of  all  that  were  published.  Probably  a  majority  of  the  Dime 
Library  tales  portray  the  conditions  and  famous  characters  of  the  Far  West, 
and  among  the  pioneer  phases  of  w^estern  life  with  which  its  titles  deal  are 
overland  emigration,  fur  trapping,  lumber-camp  life,  gold  hunting,  the  Texas 
War,  the  exploits  of  the  Texas  Rangers,  the  stage  coach  era,  cattle  rustling, 
ranch  life,  vigilante  rule,  the  depredations  of  road-agents,  Indian  fighting,  and 
conditions  in  all  the  new  states  and  territories. 

Many  of  these  Dime  Library  pamphlets  are  also  biographical.  The  nar- 
ratives of  this  type  dealing  wnth  celebrated  western  characters  embrace  "Kit 
Carson,  Jr.,  the  Crack  Shot  of  the  West"  (No.  3),  by  Major  Hall;  "Joaquin, 
the  Saddle  King"  (No.  154),  by  Badger;  "Wild  Bill"  (No.  154),  by  Ingra- 
ham; "Big  Foot  Wallace"  (No.  204),  by  Major  Hall;  and  "The  Lasso  King's 
League"  (No.  653),  and  "The  Cowboy  Clan"  (No.  658),  by  Ingraham.  The 
last  two  named  deal  with  Buck  Taylor  of  Texas.  Several  of  this  series  were 
w-ritten  by  Cody,  and  still  others  relate  to  him.  Among  these  are  "Buffalo 
Bill's  Secret  Trail"  (No.  682),  by  Major  Burr;  and  "Buffalo  Bill's  Body  Guard" 
(No.  727),  by  Ingraham. 

Included  also  in  this  department  of  the  collection  are  a  number  of 
Aiken's  stories  of  New  York  City  life.    Some  of  these  titles  are  "The  Wolves

of  New  York"  (No.  161);  "The  Phantom  Hand,  or  the  Heiress  of  Fifth 
Avenue"  (No.  72);  and  "The  Wall  Street  Blood,  or.  Tick,  Tick,  the  Tele- 
graph Girl." 

Following  the  imposing  array  just  described  there  come,  in  the  exhibition, 
representatives  of  seven  exceedingly  rare  groups  of  Beadle  publications.  Of 
"Beadle's  Dime  Fiction  Library,"  published  in  1864  and  1865,  only  five 
examples  are  present.  The  "Library  of  Choice  Fiction,"  also  published  in 
1864,  is  represented  only  by  "The  Maiden  Martyr,"  which  deals  with  the  New 
England  witchcraft  horror.  "Beadle's  15  cent  Novels"  series,  which  appeared 
in  1861,  has  a  New  York  history  specimen  in  the  shape  of  "The  Maid  of  Esopus, 
or,  The  Trials  and  Triumphs  of  the  Revolution."  The  "American  Novels" 
series  contains  nine  titles.  It  appeared  from  1865  to  1867,  and  the  little  books 
bear  the  imprint  of  Irwin  P.  Beadle,  who  was  a  brother  of  Erastus.  No.  7  of 
this  type  is  "Fort  Stanwix;  a  Tale  of  the  Mohawk  in  1777,"  by  Hamilton 
]\Iyers.  Next  in  succession  are  "FVank  Starr's  American  Novels,"  of  which 
there  are  but  four,  published  from  1870  to  1872,  and  they,  in  turn,  are  followed 
by  four  specimens  of  the  "Frank  Starr's  Fifteen  Cent  Illustrated  Novels," 
which  appeared  in  1870  and  1871. 

Last  of  all,  in  this  group  of  rarities,  are  six  copies  of  the  "Boys'  Books 
of  Romance  and  Adventure."  These,  which  are  perhaps  the  most  uncommon 
and  important  of  the  Beadle  issues,  are  attractive  octavos,  on  colored  covers. 
No.  1  of  the  series  (which  the  Library  shows),  is  Robinson  Crusoe,  but  all 
the  others  deal  with  famous  personages  and  events  in  American  history.  Some 
of  the  books  contain  several  such  narratives,  among  them  being  stories  of 
Marion  and  his  men,  of  Daniel  Morgan,  of  Tecumseh,  Moody,  Simon  Girty, 
and  other  historic  characters  of  pioneer  times.  This  series  of  publica- 
tions was  edited  by  Edward  S.  Ellis,  and,  like  several  other  groups  with 
which  it  is  associated  in  the  exhibition,  has  hitherto  escaped  the  knowledge 
of  bibliographers. 

Once  more  there  is  a  striking  change  in  the  bewildering  display  arranged 
in  the  exhibition.  The  small  and  colorful  exhibits  just  described  are  succeeded 
by  a  large  illustrated  series  printed  in  black  and  entitled  "New  and  Old  Friends." 
These  well-made  royal  octavo  pamphlets  of  thirty-two  pages  appeared  in  1873, 
and  of  the  fifteen  known  titles  the  Library  possesses  and  show^s  no  less  than 
fourteen,  only  No.  2  of  the  file  being  absent.  All  relate  to  American  pioneer 
life.  This  series  was  enlarged  to  folio  size  after  the  fifteenth  issue,  and  two 
examples  in  the  larger  form  are  in  the  exhibit.  One  of  them  is  "Oonomoo,  the 
Huron."  by  Ellis.  Of  this  tale  Senator  Zachariah  Chandler  once  said:  "The 
man  who  does  not  enjoy  'Onoomoo  the  Huron'  has  no  right  to  live." 

"The  New  York  Library,"  issued  under  the  Frank  Starr  imprint  for  a 
short  time  in  1877  is  next  represented  by  No.  19,  which  is  "Red  Cedar,  the 
Prairie   Outlaw,"   and   it   is   followed  by  nine  copies   of   "Beadle's   Popular 


14  THE  NEW  YORK  PUBLIC  LIBRARY 

Library,"  an  imperial  octavo  series  devoted  to  western  and  detective  exploits. 
These  bring  to  an  end  the  historical  and  semi-historical  tales  published  under 
various  imprints  by  the  house  of  Beadle. 

There  still  remain,  however,  two  other  important  phases  of  its  activity 
which  demand  attention,  and  which,  in  point  of  chronology,  even  ante-dated 
the  different  types  of  books  and  pamphlets  already  described.  When  Erastus 
Beadle  removed  from  Buffalo  to  New  York,  in  1858,  his  first  ventures  were 
a  number  of  little  hand-books  on  various  subjects,  and  song  books.  These 
appeared  from  1858  to  1860,  and  numerous  specimens  of  them  are  contained 
in  the  Library's  exhibit.  These  were  12mo  or  16mo  in  size,  and  were  pre- 
sented in  attractive  colored  covers,  sometimes  with  illustrations.  Most  impor- 
tant and  historically  valuable  of  these  publications  were  the  Beadle  Baseball 
Guides,  that  began  to  appear  in  1859  or  1860  and  were  continued  for  about 
twenty  years.  They  were  the  first  continuous  series  of  baseball  guides  in  the 
world,  and  contain  a  huge  mass  of  information  relating  to  the  national  game 
that  is  nowhere  else  to  be  found.  In  that  respect  they  are  invaluable,  and  no 
history  of  baseball  can  be  written  without  constant  recourse  to  them. 

Other  volumes  of  like  character  in  the  exhibition  are  the  "Joke  Books"; 
the  "Year  Book  and  Almanac";  the  "Ladies  Letter  Writer";  the  "Housewife's 
Manual";  the  "Book  of  Verse";  the  "Debater";  the  "Elocutionist,"  and  the 
three  issues  of  the  "Book  of  Fun."  The  "Book  of  Fun  No.  3"  is  notable 
because  of  the  fact  that  it  is  the  first  edition,  in  book  form,  of  Mark  Twain's 
story  of  the  Jumping  Frog,  which  is  contained  on  pages  29  to  32.  This  vol- 
ume appeared  in  1866,  preceding  by  a  year  the  appearance  of  the  pamphlet 
commonly  accepted  as  the  first  edition  of  the  tale. 

Of  similar  size  and  make-up  are  the  series  of  "Dime  Dialogues"  and 
"Dime  Speakers,"  which  are  also  shown.  The  Dialogue  series  contained  at 
least  forty-one  issues,  and  the  speaker  series  is  known  to  have  embraced  twenty- 
five  books.  Numerous  copies  of  each  are  shown,  the  Speaker  No.  1  being 
dated  1861. 

Erastus  Beadle  was  himself  a  great  lover  of  out-door  sports  and  out- 
door life  (due,  no  doubt,  to  his  immediate  pioneer  ancestry),  and  in  addition 
to  the  baseball  guides  he  published  many  other  similar  hand-books.  The  Library 
exhibition  contains  copies  of  the  Beadle  "Book  of  Cricket,"  of  "Football,"  of 
"Croquet,"  of  "Skating,"  of  "Curling,"  of  "Pedestrianism,"  and  of  "Riding 
and  Driving."    All  these  appeared  in  the  '60's. 

With  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War  the  publisher  began  the  issuance  of 
little  volumes  designed  to  inform  the  Northern  public  regarding  its  military 
leaders,  and  this  phase  of  Beadle  activity  continued  until  1865.  Among  books 
of  this  sort  shown  in  the  exhibition  are  biographies  of  the  principal  Union 
Generals,  the  "Report  of  General  Grant,"  and  the  "Story  of  the  Grand  March" 


THE  BEADLE  COLLECTION  15 

made  by  Sherman.  All  were  published  at  ten  cents,  and  each  contains  about 
100  pages  of  text. 

Most  important  of  all  the  Beadle  series,  from  the  historical  standpoint,  is 
that  known  as  Type  C  and  entitled  "Lives  of  Great  Americans."  It  appeared 
monthly,  in  the  70's,  for  about  a  year,  and  contained  thirteen  different  titles. 
All  these  are  rare,  yet  the  Library  file,  as  shown,  contains  no  less  than  eleven  of 
them  and  embraces  the  lives  of  Washington,  Paul  Jones,  Anthony  Wayne,  Ethan 
Allen,  Lafayette,  Israel  Putnam,  Crockett,  Tecumseh,  Lincoln,  Pontiac  and 
Grant.  Those  lacking  are  the  lives  of  Boone  and  Kit  Carson.  This  series  is 
attractively  bound  in  colored  illustrated  covers,  much  of  the  coloring  having 
been  done  by  brush.  There  was  also  issued  a  Life  of  General  McClellan,  and 
a  memorial  edition  of  the  Life  of  Grant,  issued  after  his  death.  Both  of  these 
are  shown. 

The  other  manifestation  of  Beadle's  early  activities  after  his  removal  to 
New  York  was  his  issuance  of  popular  song  books.  One  of  the  first  of  these 
was  the  "Dime  School  Melodist"  of  1859.  The  Library  copy  (a  later  edition) 
is  dated  1860. 

Following  it  came  three  distinct  series  of  song  literature.  The  first  was 
a  collection  called  the  "Dime  Song  Book,"  which  began  in  1859  and  embraced 
some  twenty  or  more  separate  numbers  that  came  out  periodically.  The  earliest 
shown  by  the  Library  is  Number  3,  dated  1859.  They  were  12mos  in  salmon 
colored  covers,  and  each  number  contained  sixty  or  seventy  of  the  popular 
ballads  of  that  time. 

The  second  series  of  songsters  was  named  the  "One  Cent  Song  Book," 
of  which  nine  different  numbers  are  known  to  exist,  and  of  which  the  Library 
shows  eight  (lacking  only  No.  6).  As  its  name  indicates,  it  was  sold  for  a 
cent,  and  was  a  16mo  eight-page  pamphlet.  All  numbers  are  extremely  rare. 
It  was  published  in  1868.  Previously,  in  1861,  the  "Dime  Union  Song  Book" 
in  two  numbers  had  been  brought  out,  containing  the  war  songs  of  the  North. 

The  third  and  last  songster  series  was  a  pretentious  royal  octavo  in  size, 
and  named  "Beadle's  Singers'  Library."  Beginning  in  1878,  it  continued 
weekly  into  1879,  and  43  separate  numbers  are  known.  Of  these  the  Library 
possesses  an  almost  complete  file,  lacking  only  numbers  3  and  20,  with  nearly 
all  the  numbers  in  first  edition.  The  first  editions  of  these  items  had  large 
colored  vignette  illustrations  on  the  front  page,  with  much  of  the  coloring 
done  by  hand.  Each  number  contained  fifty  or  more  songs  of  the  day,  the 
entire  series,  therefore,  embracing  more  than  two  thousand  of  the  songs  most 
popular  with  the  Americans  of  43  years  ago. 

For  that  reason  it  is  also  a  historically  invaluable  collection,  since  the 
song  literature  it  contains  discloses,  in  striking  manner,  the  prevailing  thoughts 
and  manners  of  society.  Many  of  the  songs  themselves,  both  in  title  and  text, 
reveal  the  prevalence  of  an  artificial  sentimentality,  a  tolerance  of  crime  and

vulgarity,  a  worship  of  alcohol,  and  a  laxity  of  morals  decidedly  in  contrast 
with  ideas  now  prevailing.  A  column  might  be  filled  with  the  peculiar  titles 
to  these  interesting  ditties.  Among  them  are  "The  Crackman's  Chant,"  "Pull 
Down  the  Blind,"  "Battle  of  the  Kegs,"  "Since  Terry  First  Joined  the  Gang," 
"Grease  the  Griddle,  Birdie,  Darling,"  "When  Brown  Comes  Rolling  Home," 
"She  Was  Clerk  in  a  Candy  Store,"  "Billiards  and  Pool,"  "See  that  my  Nose 
is  kept  Red,"  "The  Way  my  Daddy  Went,"  "I'm  Dancing  Mad,"  "The  Old 
W^hisky  Jug,"  "Go  It  While  You're  Young,"  "The  Rat  Catcher's  Daughter," 
"On  Coney  Island  Beach,^'  "She  W^ept  her  Life  Away,"  "Charge  the  Can 
Cheerily,"  "Bright,  Bright  Wine,"  "I  Fancy  I've  seen  you  Before,"  "Charley 
the  Masher,"  "Please  Father  don't  Drink  Any  More,"  "Come  Home  Mother," 
and  "Dear  Father,  Come  Down  with  the  Stamps." 

Although  the  preceding  outline  of  Beadle  activities  sufficiently  suggests 
that  his  career  was  not  confined  to  the  publishing  of  adventure  tales,  according 
to  the  general  impression,  there  still  remain  to  be  noticed  the  items  which  ter- 
minate the  distinctively  Beadle  phase  of  the  Library's  exhibition.  They  are 
four  in  number,  of  which  three  are  newspapers  and  one  is  a  pretentious  monthly 
magazine.  The  magazine  in  question  is  "The  Home  Monthly,"  four  volumes 
of  which  appeared  in  Buffalo  during  the  years  1856-1860,  before  Beadle  came 
to  New  York  City.  It  ranked  among  the  best  periodicals  of  the  country.  The 
Library  shows  it  in  completeness. 

The  newspapers  were  all  published  in  New  York  City.  "Belles  and 
Beaux"  was  a  home  weekly  issued  during  1874.  It  is  represented  by  Number  3 
of  Volume  I.  Only  a  few  scattered  numbers  are  known.  "Girls  of  Today," 
which  came  out  in  1875/6,  is  shown  in  a  complete  volume.  The  "Young  New 
Yorker,"  which  was  issued  in  1878/9,  is  also  on  view  in  the  shape  of  a  complete 
volume.  It  was  an  excellent  illustrated  journal  intended  to  foster  a  love  of 
nature  and  out-of-door  life,  and  completes  the  cycle  of  Beadle  literature,  which, 
for  extent  and  variety,  has  scarcely  been  approached  by  any  other  American 
publisher. 

The  remainder  of  the  collection  (not  exhibited)  consists  of  numerous 
series  of  adventure  tales  and  other  dime  novels,  nearly  all  of  which  were  inspired 
by,  and  followed,  in  the  wake  of  the  Beadle  imprints.  First  in  this  section  come 
thirty-two  of  the  tales  published  by  DeWitt  in  imitation  of  the  original  salmon- 
colored  Beadle  books.  Robert  DeWitt  began  their  publication  in  New  York 
in  1867,  closely  following  the  outward  appearance  of  the  Beadle  books,  and 
they  continued  to  appear,  to  the  number  of  more  than  118,  during  the  follow- 
ing ten  years.  To  some  degree,  also,  the  DeWitt  volumes  dealt  with  the  same 
pioneer  subjects  and  conditions,  although  they  were  frankly  fiction,  and  not 
nearly  so  well  written  as  the  Beadle  books. 

Another  imitator  of  Beadle  had  appeared  in  Boston  in  1864  or  1865,  in 
the  shape  of  the  publishing  firm  of  Elliott,  Thomes  and  Talbot,  which  then 


THE  BEADLE  COLLECTION  ,  17 

began  the  issuance  of  a  series  of  little  blue  bound  books  of  adventure.  Some 
thirteen  of  this  series  are  known.  They  are  excellently  made  volumes,  well 
printed,  of  about  120  pages  each,  and  were  sold  for  ten  cents.  They,  however, 
were  not  wholly  confined  to  American  life  in  their  subject  matter,  but  included 
stories  dealing  with  other  lands. 

Still  a  third  imitator  of  Beadle  was  Sinclair  Tousey  of  New  York,  who, 
in  1864,  began  publishing  a  series  called  "American  Tales."  These  were 
octavos  in  colored  illustrated  covers,  and  were  sold  for  15  cents.  They  (doubt- 
less due  to  the  date  of  their  appearance)  relate  to  the  Civil  War  and  its  events. 

Following  are  fifty-six  numbers  of  the  most  famous  of  the  later 
generation  of  American  dime  novels.  These  are  the  "Old  Cap  Collier 
Stories,"  first  published  by  the  house  of  Munro  in  1883.  George  Munro, 
the  originator  of  the  house,  was  at  first  a  bookkeeper  for  Erastus  Beadle, 
but  in  1866  Munro  left  the  Beadle  establishment,  and,  in  conjunction  with 
Irwin  Beadle,  set  up  a  competing  enterprise  and  began  the  issuance  of  Munro's 
Ten  Cent  Novels.  They  likewise  covered  the  same  historic  ground,  were  put 
out  in  the  same  general  form,  and  acquired  great  popularity.  Later,  however, 
the  Munro  books  underwent  a  radical  change,  and  the  "Old  Cap  Collier"  stories 
took  the  place  of  the  more  solid  historical  material.  The  first  of  the  Cap  Collier 
series  dealt  with  the  Savin  Rock  Mystery  of  New^  Haven,  and  the  ensuing 
numbers  of  the  series  did  not  bear  any  numerical  designation  until  several  had 
appeared.  It  continued  as  a  semi-weekly  issue  for  several  years,  as  an  octavo, 
and  later  became  an  imperial  octavo.  A  copy  in  the  large  size,  as  it  appeared 
31  years  ago,  is  also  included.  This  title  is  "The  Death  of  Sitting  Bull,  or. 
General  Custer  Avenged,"  and  is  number  391  of  the  entire  Munro  output. 

Other  series  of  similar  later  publications  are  the  "Old  Sleuth  Library," 
the  "W^ide  Awake  Library,"  the  "War  Library,"  the  "Five  Cent  Weekly 
Library,"  the  "Comic  Library,"  the  "Army  and  Navy  Library,"  the  "Nickel 
Library,"  the  "Log  Cabin  Library,"  and  the  "Camp  Fire  Library."  All  these 
are  degenerate  and  feeble  imitations  of  the  earlier  Beadle  pubHcations,  but 
necessary  in  any  comprehensive  collection  of  this  most  unusual  and  significant 
phase  of  American  literature.  The  final  group,  by  contrast,  contains  several 
copies  of  "The  Novelette,"  first  issued  in  Boston  by  Ballou  in  1857,  and  which 
is  believed  to  have  suggested  to  Erastus  Beadle  —  in  part  at  least  —  his  great 
enterprise.  The  "Novelette"  titles  are  pretentious  and  well-printed  tales  relat- 
ing to  American  history.
